Why a mosaic pendant light is different

A plain shade simply softens a bulb. A mosaic pendant light puts the light on show: the bulb sits inside a globe of hand-cut natural glass, mirror tile and beads, and when it is lit the pattern spreads across the walls around it.

Each Turkish pendant light is made by hand in Türkiye. Artisans cut the glass into small shapes, set every piece by hand, grout and polish the globe, then fit it to a hand-aged antique brass canopy. Because the glass is natural rather than dyed or painted, the light comes through soft and rich. Every globe is set by hand, so the lamp you receive is the only one with its exact pattern. Before it is boxed, each pendant is wired, fitted with its LED bulb and switched on to check.

Choosing the right pendant

Every pendant shares a 10 cm canopy; the difference is the globe.

• Small globe: 10 cm across, 55 cm high. A neat choice for a bedroom, a reading corner or a narrow hallway. Find more compact designs in small globes.
• Medium globe: 12.5 cm across, 57 cm high. The most adaptable size, at home in most rooms, and the one to start with if you are unsure.
• Large globe: 15 cm across, 59 cm high. Holds its own over a dining table or in a high-ceilinged entrance.

When a size is sold out, its product page lets you sign up to hear when it is back. For colour, warm amber glass suits a dining room lit for long evenings, while multicoloured globes throw every shade across a white wall. Want more light from one ceiling point? Look at the mosaic chandeliers, which carry 4 to 13 globes.

Where to hang a mosaic pendant

A single pendant over a small dining table or kitchen island gives a warm pool of colour where people gather. Two or three in a row suit a longer table or a kitchen counter, and pendants in different colours can hang side by side as a set. In a hallway or foyer, a pendant meets you with pattern on the walls as you come in. Hung beside a reading chair or a bed, one frees the table for books. In a café or boutique hotel, a row of pendants carries the same effect along a counter.

Planning a row? Two pendants save 10% each and three or more save 15% each, and you can mix designs.

Bulb, safety and care

Each pendant takes an E14 bulb, and an E14 LED bulb is included. LED runs efficiently and stays low in heat, which helps protect the mosaic globe around it. You can change the bulb to suit your room, but a different bulb may affect the brightness, colour tone and pattern.

Every pendant is CE certified and hardwired, so a qualified electrician fixes it to a ceiling light point. If you have a question about your ceiling, chat with us; we are available 24/7. To clean, switch off the power, steady the globe with one hand and dust it with a soft, dry cloth.
